JAMES H. STARK, OF NElV YORK, N. Y.

MENS NECKWEAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 769,506, dated September 6, 1904.

Application filed April 19, 1904. Serial No. 203,866. (No model.)

To all whom, it 7rtrt7 concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES H. STARK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Mens Neckwear, of whlch the followlng is a full,

clear, and exact description.

This invention relates particularly to improvements in neckwear or scarfs of the class having an apron or aprons depending from a collar-engaging device, an object being to so construct the parts that the apron or aprons may be readily rotated around a vertical axis relatively to the head or collar engaging de vice to present new or different surfaces, thus practically providing two scarfs in one.

I will describe improvements in mens neckwear embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.

Figure l is a front view of a scarf em bodying my invention with a portion broken away. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof, and Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, 5 designates the head of the scarf, as here shown attached to a shield 6, designed to engage in a turn-down collar and secured to the collar-button in a Well-known manner. It is to be understood, however, that my invention is not restricted to a shield for engaging with the collar, but embraces a neckband for engaging around a stand-up collar.

Depending from the head 5 is a scarf-apron 7, consisting of any suitable material, and it may be of similar color or similar material on the opposite sides, or it may have one color on one side and another color on the opposite side, presentlng difierent scarfs at thus practically will. As here shown, the upper end of the apron extends into the head 5 and is secured thereto by a swivel 8, or other means may be employed for connecting the parts without departing from the spirit of my invention. It will be noted that the swivel ends are attached to the head and to the apron by means of metal clips 9; but obviously they may be otherwise secured.

The operation is quite clear-that is, it is to be understood that the scarf may be placed in position with either of its sides outward or disclosed and then even when on the neck of the wearer may be quickly reversed or turned around on a vertical axis to present the opposite side to view.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A scarf comprising a head, a depending apron having its upper end extended into the head, and a connection between said upper end and the head whereby the apron is held from detachment but permitted to rotate on a vertical axis without removing the scarf from the wearer.

2. A scarf comprising a head, a shield attached to the head, a depending apron hax'ing its upper end extended into the head, and a swivel connection between said upper end and the head, whereby the depending apron may rotate around a vertical axis with relation to the head.

In testimony whereofI have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
